Metaplanet Solidifies Role as Crypto Leader in Japan

In addition, a major event is approaching. Eric Trump, a Strategic Board of Advisors member, will travel to Tokyo. Bloomberg reported on August 22, 2025, that he will be present at the shareholders’ meeting of Metaplanet on September 1. The visit highlights the increased role of the company in the Bitcoin environment. It also identifies the power of Eric Trump in the crypto community.
